Abstract
Design and Implementation of a Prototype Automatic Reading System for the Consumers’ Electrical Energy Meters
Highlights
The problems related to the traditional electric meter reading system started to increase day after day due to several reasons, including:
This research builds a new system that automatically reads the meter without changing the traditional energy meter using the camera and a singleboard computer (Raspberry Pi) supplied with our traditional energy meters that will take image of the meter reading when need to make bill for consumer, convert this image to text and send itto the central station with meter number(useridentification [ID]) for eachconsumer
It is possible to communicate with the customer via the mobile number and to inform him through a report stating the amount of his consumption of electrical energy and any other notes
Summary
This system is used to calculate the electricity meter, it is used to read the water and gas meter in developed countries. The summarysome of them: E.Aravindetal.,(2014) Enhanced Power Meter that supports wireless datatransmission, which designs prototype of the power meter by use current sensor and voltage sensor andADC (Analog to Digital Converter).Raspberry Piperforms all the basic functions of the microcontroller and supports features such as sending emails and SMS with the help of a Wi-Fi dongle And GSM modem. This automated system enablescontinuous monitoring of energy consumption[1]. It is able to monitor various parameters such as Current, Voltage, Power, consuming unit, and the consumer can take appropriate precautions to reduce the electrical appliances used as well[4]
